127. MANAKASA - ITS
FUNCTIONS

194.
Akasa tattva or ether, upon which the
impressions received through the senses are recorded, is known as manakasa (mind-sky). This Akasa possesses an elasticity of an
immensely high character, identical with the elasticity of ether found in
creation. By means of this elasticity the impressions produced in manakasa or in the ordinary ether of
nature are transmitted to their destination. The destination in the case of
natural disturbances is radiative, while in the case of manakasa, although this function is not wanting, it is subjective.
Mind with its four functions becomes cognizant at the time the impressions are
being recorded, but with the diversion of attention to other impressions and in
other directions, the consciousness of the previous impressions fades and
gradually they bypass away from the ordinary schedule of memory. The
impressions, however, by such disappearance, are not entirely effaced. They are
scrupulously preserved in the old records of manakasa. When these are approached, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by complete convergence of attention towards them, they are
forthwith reproduced and recollected as explained above.
